Fixed in this driver:

    * Setting the game Flight Simulator 2004 to display at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 followed by starting a new flight no longer results in the menu being flipped just before the new flight is about to begin

    * Setting the display resolution to 1024x768 32bpp followed by setting the Indy Car demo display option to 1600x1200 32bpp and setting the detail to high no longer results in the fence and car's shadows flashing

    * Setting the display resolution to 1024x768 32bpp and enabling Anti-Aliasing to 4x followed by configuring the game Race Driver to 1600x1200 32bpp no longer results in some of the race cars not being drawn properly

[madcat05]

They make the last intro video freeze up. I went back to 3.8 problem gone.

[acidic-e-]

Weird. Never had that problem. :/

3.8 were horrible

[SOOPAH256]

Weird. Never had that problem. :/

yeah, i never had that problem with the 3.8 drivers as well.

perhaps there's some compatibility issue with the card you're using?

(btw, i was using mine w/ a 9800 pro 128MB)
